What causes thread shredding/breakage on the top part of the machine? I guess near or on the tension? I have a Brother Quattro.
If you're using the horizontal spool pin, be sure the spool is inserted onto the spool pin in the proper orientation. Per the manual; Set the thread spool on the spool pin so that the thread unwinds from the front of the spool.
Horizontal spools require the spool cap be equal or greater in size than the spool diameter. Using a smaller cap may result in the thread snagging on the spool edge.
Be sure to follow threading instructions exactly.
Always try different manufacturer thread to eliminate the possibility of weak or bad thread.
Which model is best for home
Depends what you plan to do with the machine. If you expect to do simple straight or zig-zag stitching, perhaps sewing garments or home decor items, a simple mechanical machine with a few decorative stitches may be sufficient.
However, if you decide you want to get into computerized embroidery, etc., then a computerized machine with more capabilities may be a better choice.
Of course, with that decision is the price. Just go with the best value for your money.
If you are a beginner, perhaps a simple machine to start with may be a good choice until you advance your sewing abilities to a point when you can consider a machine with more capabilities. If you decide you really don't like sewing, at least you haven't put out a great amount of money.
